Abstract

As a pedagogical tool, speculative design – at its best – opens students’ minds to brave new worlds: to critical and creative interventions, transgression and change, as well as the possibility of applying design principles and tools in very different contexts and types of projects. The speculative approach allows students to create a set of tools and a language for understanding the consequences of their design practice. It is particularly stimulating as an educational tool because it foregrounds criticism, self-reflection, and a move away from familiar practices. Moreover, it has the ambition to generate activities and change in the real world.
